**Additional News: Tijuana’s Public Service Adjustments for Halloween**

Residents of Tijuana are advised of a potential reduction in public transportation services on Halloween night. Officials from the transportation department have noted that there may be fewer buses running, urging those in need of transport to plan accordingly.

In celebration of Halloween and Día de Muertos, a ‘terrifying’ relay race is being organized in Tijuana, alongside a classic horror film series in Tecate. Additionally, efforts are underway to create the largest “Pan de Muerto” in the world in Tijuana, involving the production of 43,000 pieces of bread designed to form a mosaic of a “Catrina.”

Lastly, there have been warnings from the local government about potential decreases in public transit availability and changes stemming from a proposed reform to the Issstecali law, which recently sparked protests among public servants and educators.
